- quiet_head_qi — while im here oral was easier on my gut than injecting at what felt like a similar effect, which surprised me 21:27
- verify_or_dont — the fasting window is the difference between a dose and a very expensive tablet, take that with a pinch of salt 21:29
- verify_or_dont — the oral disappointed me on the mornings i couldnt manage 30 minutes fasted, which was most of them 21:45
- quiet_head_qi — roughly one percent gets absorbed, which is why the tablet strength looks nothing like an injectable dose 21:53
- quiet_head_qi — the fasting rule cost me my breakfast routine and thats the real reason people quit the oral 21:55

roughly one percent gets absorbed, which is why the tablet strength looks nothing like an injectable dose
anyone tracking whether their oral results line up week to week

nobody should copy my morning routine, but the timer is the bit i would keep
big mg small dose
one percent is the number people quote and the spread around it is the actual story
splitting a dose made the absorption problem worse rather than better in my own log
i keep the tablet by the kettle so i take it before i think about food, we shall see
